In Kolkata, petrol costs ₹106.03 per litre, and ₹102.63 in Chennai; the price of one litre diesel in these two cities is ₹94.24 and ₹92.76 per litre, respectively.

In India, OMCs (Bharat Petroleum, Indian Oil, Hindustan Petroleum) review petrol and diesel prices daily; the rates, whether unchanged or revised, are announced at 6am each. Also, fuel rates vary from state-to-state due to factors such as value-added tax (VAT), freight charges, local charges, etc.
